Accept offer or not?

[princessbride17]

I just don't know what to do. Separated from ex a year ago and he agreed to move out if I covered mortgage. House went straight on market and is still sat there a year later. I have had interest but 2 sales have fallen through.

I had an offer a few weeks ago for £10k below the asking price which would leave me still owing about £2k to my parents. They say they are ok with this.
I don't really want to accept such a low offer but the clock is ticking for my mortgage renewal and I really want rid of the place for a fresh start. It would mean I had nothing to start over with though.
Do I cut my losses and accept it, or hang on in the hope I get a higher offer? Anyone have a crystal ball?

The bottom line is your house has been on the market for a year. You NEED to sell before September. Youd be mad to risk losing a sale for £1k. The next offer you get could be months down the line and for even less.

I'd accept his offer before he finds something else over the weekend

Why are you alone liable for the debt to your parents?

Surely X has a responsibility to pay some of the debt and house the children

Just take the offer before you don't have an offer to accept as your buyer has gone elsewhere

GreenTulips good point. Its all been left to me because, in his words "I didn't want any of this". He didn't want to split, therefore thinks I should cover all the costs of it. So I get to pay the mortgage alone, and all the costs of selling. Oh, not to mention the stress of selling it.
